The event’s purpose was to introduce the Coalition’s Impartial Justice Act. The Impartial Justice Act seeks to change the lack of information available to the public on Minnesota judges up for election.

Panelists of the forum discussion included current Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page and former Chief Justice Eric Magnuson.

Former Chief Justice Magnuson believes most voters can’t execute their democratic voice, “Over 90% of judges run unopposed in Minnesota. When judges run unopposed voters don’t have a choice.”

The Impartial Justice Act proposes judges evaluated by appointed officials from all three branches of state government.
